Hi! I recently moved to New Tampa from Clearwater and I was looking for a place similar to Planet Jump or Bounce U. They are indoor areas with several bounce houses and slides set up for the kids to play in. My son LOVES it and I took him at least a few times a week. I would LOVE to find somewhere similar in Tampa. I'm open to driving pretty much anywhere in the Tampa area. Thanks!!
Hi Ashley...the only place I know of is in Brandon. It is called Pump It Up. I had my daughter's birthday party there in Jan. and the kids had a blast!! Have fun!!
Hi Ashley,
I live in Brandon and my daughter who is five going on 6 absolutely LOVES Pump It Up. Sounds very much like the place you described that your son likes going to. I did a search and there is one in Tampa. I have never been to that location, but the Brandon store is clean and well kept. I've copied the Tampa store's info below:
Pump It Up
12878 Commodity Place, Tampa, FL 33626
(813) 854-2222
I hope you like it as much as we do. We had my daughter's 4th b-day party there and it was a big hit. Now she wants to have her 6th b-day party there, too!
Good luck - please let me know what you think if you try it out!

In addition to Pump It Up, there is Planet Bounce in Lutz. We live in New Tampa as well and it takes about 15 minutes from my house. We just had my daughter's 3rd birthday there and they did a great job!! She always has a wonderful time and burns lots of energy!!!!
Planet Bounce in Lutz - on the east side of Highway 41. Not sure where you are in New Tampa, but it's really easy to get to from Super Target across from Meadow Point. Take County Line Road to 41, go south. It's in "downtown" Lutz, in the Winn Dixie Shopping Center complex (Sunset Lake Plaza).
Inflate World is a really nice bounce house type place, as well. My daughter had her 5th birthday there last year and loved it. It was very clean and there were a lot of staff members during the party (I think 4 or 5) and they all interacted well with the kids. The place is located in Odessa, so it might be a little bit of a drive for you, but check it out. I think you will like it. Here is the website:

There is Pump It Ip in Brandon and Westchase. Their is also a Planet Bounce in Lutz. I suggest Pump it Up over the others - the bounce house material and selection is of a much higher quality.
However, being in the industry myself. I would also like to suggest possibly renting two of them and putting them in your yard or at the park. We give discounts for multiple rentals and are always running specials - always 10% off for Mamasource. Please visit our website at www.bouncybiz.com.
Good luck!

Quality bounce house rentals are hard to find in the Tampa / South Tampa and Clearwater areas. Probably the most important part is making sure it is going to be clean and that is hard to tell obviously until it shows up. This article explains some of the fears parents have when renting bounce houses and how to make sure you get a high quality bounce house and not get ripped off, check it out: http://abbouncehouse.blogspot.com/
